It's nice to have options, isn't it? I know there are lots of y'all out there with nut allergies. I myself could be murdered by a macadamia, but almond meal seems to be fine for me. Well, when so many of you wrote that those in your lives can't tolerate almond meal, naturally … [Read more...]

Recipes are fluid...always evolving, always improving. And in my case, I'm always improvising based on what I have available in the kitchen. I love it when you guys find a new way--a better way--to make my recipes, and then tweet me a picture. It means that we're having a … [Read more...]
